Vice President Kashim Shettima has downplayed the significance of President Bola Tinubu’s residence in Bourdillon, Lagos, claiming his own house in Maiduguri is superior. Speaking at the launch of Navigating the Politics of Universal Education Policies in Nigeria by Prof. Modupe Adelabu, Shettima urged Nigerians to focus on supporting the President’s efforts to address the nation’s challenges rather than dwelling on past issues or the President’s personal lifestyle.
Shettima praised Tinubu for his commitment to improving the nation and noted his modest lifestyle, including his preference for simple meals and limited personal possessions. He described Tinubu as a leader with integrity and a strong will to implement necessary reforms despite facing substantial criticism.
Highlighting Tinubu’s recent decisions, Shettima emphasized that the Nigerian economy is on the path to recovery, citing increased oil exports and a stabilizing Naira. He called for unity and support for the President’s policies, which are aimed at long-term improvements in Nigeria’s economic and social landscape.
